I'm afraid to have to say this...       04/20/05 10:32 AM Edit Reply Quote Linz Reged: 09/01/03 Posts: 8242 Loc: England ...as I KNOW it won't be popular , but you REALLY have to chill out. Seriously, for your health! Stress is a major IBS trigger for most of us, so by continually worrying you will make yourself worse! Also, even if you didn't have IBS, stressing out is not good for your health. What I suggest is that you make an appointment with your GI doc and talk to him. Explain your fears, discuss his opinions, talk about having a colonoscopy. Re. the colonoscopy it REALLY isn't that bad...the prep's the bad bit, but that's all about (possibly) swallowing something yucky and then spending alot of time in the bathroom! The procedure itself is a breeze...if you're really fussed then they can give you a stronger dose of sedative so you won't know what's going on at all! IBS is not properly understood yet, like so many of the functional disorders, so there is no way of saying "this is definitive IBS"...we're all different. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
